This Friday, January 7, Verve is releasing some fabulous new sets and dies! To countdown to the release, we’re putting on a series of mini blog hops Tuesday through Thursday of this week to preview the new sets! And because a new release is something to celebrate, we’ve hidden a prize on one of the participating blogs each day! Just leave a little comment love as you hop around to be entered into a drawing to win that day’s featured stamps! Deadline for comment entries is 6PM Mountain Friday, January 7. Winners will be announced at our release party on Friday night!

Today I have a sneak peek of a new set called Sweet Treats and the brand new AWESOME Classy Label Die and Embossed Oval Die! I also want to warn you....I'm over the moon for this new Echo Park Be Mine patterned paper. You will be seeing a lot of it this week!

I started my card with an older Sketch For You To Try from Jen del Muro. I picked out all of the patterns from the Echo Park Be Mine DP and then got to stamping. I stamped the beautiful frame from Sweet Treats in Charcoal Fluid Chalk Ink and then used the Classy Label Die to cut it out. I stamped the sentiment in the same ink and then cut it out with the Embossed Oval Die, finishing the edges with some pink glitter. It needed a little something, so I stamped a small heart from the set over the sentiment and colored it in with a Copic Marker. After cutting all of my layers I finished some of them by machine stitching the edges. A glittered rosette, some adhesive flourish gems and button and Divine Twine finish it off!

Jackie, Thank you for putting together such a Gorgeous card for our viewing pleasure... The stitching and gems were the perfect touch to that Fab DP!! I have to get my hands on that, lol! I I can't wait!!
